Retailers throughout the state are receiving letters from the California State Board of Equalization notifying them about upcoming visits from Statewide Compliance and Outreach Program teams.

Truckee is on that list.

SCOP visits are intended to educate retailers about properly reporting sales and use tax, increase compliance with tax laws, and maintain outreach efforts to assure taxpayers the state’s tax system is fair and equal for all Californians.

The BOE has found nearly 98 percent of the California businesses operate with the correct permits. However, noncompliance contributes to more than $2 billion in uncollected sales and use taxes.
